A threat to democracy?

Edit to add: you’re also wrong. The condemned violence has to be for a particular purpose. You simply are too ignorant to understand the nature of “elements” in a defined crime.

You are too stupid to understand what insurrection is.

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

The elements of insurrection are (1) attempting to overthrow the government and (2) committing any violent act in furtherance of it.

What you believe or not believe does not matter.

Of course, I am speaking to an absolute idiot. So I don’t expect you to comprehend this.

You are too stupid to understand what insurrection is.

Here is the legal definition:

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

What you believe or not believe does not matter.

Of course, I am speaking to an absolute idiot. So I don’t expect you to comprehend this.

It is because I do know what insurrection is that I had to correct you, you complete jerkoff. Let’s highlight the most relevant part: “rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof”.

And that matters because it’s not what happened. The 1/6 participants of the break-in and the assaults were NOT DOING ANYTHING AGAINST the United States. You idiot. Although I maintain they were misguided and were also otherwise committing some crimes, they were doing it FOR the United States.

I’m sorry that your brain didn’t survive to birth.

This is another crazy liberal conspiracy that is turning into a smear campaign for the 2022 election.
This one is "The Great Insurrection Conspiracy"
This one is even a bigger than Pelosi's Ukraine Phone Call Conspiracy was.
This could take even longer to investigate than Pelosi's Russian Collusion Conspiracy.
This is highly likely to backfire on the idiot Democrats.
People have wised-up to the Democrat Dirty Tricks political games.

Most people have been lead around by the nose for so long their masters don't even need a leash anymore they just follow the herd leader regardless of what cliff they are walked off of.

“Thousands of protesters rushed to the … Capitol Wednesday night, forcing their way through doors, crawling through windows and jamming corridors.” That is how one newspaper described the storming of the Capitol — not the one in Washington last year, but the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., a decade ago.

Back then, thousands of pro-union activists — many bused in from out of state — rampaged through the historic building in an effort to stop a vote on collective bargaining reform legislation. So, when I saw the images of a pro-Trump mob rampaging through the U.S. Capitol last week, my first thought was: What is Scott Walker thinking right now?

“It’s like I’m having PTSD from a decade ago,” the former Republican governor of Wisconsin texted me.

Most conservatives have condemned the right-wing mob that assaulted the U.S. Capitol. But 10 years ago, Democrats embraced the left-wing mob that occupied the state Capitol in Madison. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) praised the occupiers for an “impressive show of democracy in action” and tweeted as they assaulted the Capitol that she continued “to stand in solidarity” with the union activists. In other words, Democrats were for occupying capitols before they were against it.

“Standing on the capitol steps at dusk, [Secretary of Administration] Mike Huebsch watched as an army of thousands formed on State Street and began marching toward him,” we wrote. “Soon they had descended on the building, banging on the doors and windows, chanting, ‘Let us in! Let us in!’ The small contingent of capitol police was quickly overwhelmed. Protesters ripped the hinges of an antique oak door at the State Street entrance and streamed inside. Mike watched in disbelief as the window to Democratic Representative Cory Mason’s office opened right in front of him and protesters began crawling into the building. Once inside, they began unlocking doors and bathroom windows until a sea of thousands had flooded the capitol.”

The police retreated in the face of the horde, giving up the first floor, then the second. “The protesters ran amok, chanting ‘This is our house!’ and ‘This is what democracy looks like!’ ” we wrote. “And they then began searching for the Republican senators who had dared to defy the will of the unions.” As the crowd scoured the building looking for the offending legislators, police sneaked them out through an underground tunnel to a government building across the street. But a Democratic representative posted on social media that the Republican senators were escaping through the tunnels, so when the senators came up into the lobby, the mob was there waiting for them.

“The tall windows that framed the lobby were plastered with people yelling and banging on the glass,” we wrote. “They were trapped. The senators hid under a stairwell, out of view, while the police ordered a city bus to pull up in front of the building. Officers then formed a human wall on the sidewalk, parting the sea of protesters and creating a pathway for the senators to reach the bus.” Once the senators were on board, “the mob on the street began punching the windows and shaking the vehicle. … The police told the senators and staff inside to keep their heads down in case a window shattered.”

Thankfully, no one was killed. But during the course of the occupation, Walker received a steady stream of death threats against him and his wife, including one that promised to “gut her like a deer” and one threatening to kill his sons. Police found dozens of .22-caliber bullets scattered across the Capitol grounds. The occupiers drew chalk outlines of fake dead bodies etched with Walker’s name on the floor, and carried signs that read “Death to tyrants,” “The only good Republican is a dead Republican” and one with picture of him in crosshairs with the words, “Don’t retreat, Reload.”

This piece was written a year ago this month. Is it not interesting that when people from the Right do it it's an insurrection and a threat to democracy, but when people from the Left do it then it's democracy in action. I wonder how many of those insurrectionists in Wisconsin got arrested and charged, but I'm guessing none?

What democracy? The US is hardly a democracy.

Wrong comparison. The right-wing insurrection was an attempted Putsch. It was defeated by those loyal to our Constitutional Republic.

You should really lay off mind altering substances.
